Archive the project

Metabase promoted the connector to the core level in metabase/metabase#54740. Co-existence of both solutions creates confusion.

• update readme to point out to https://github.com/metabase/metabase/tree/470e47b5676d25e0a30e1672ec00c0593216cc45/modules/drivers/clickhouse
• update docs on https://clickhouse.com/docs/integrations
• archive the project

Hi everyone,

First off, thanks for all the work on this driver over the years!

Metabase 53.x is still widely used and does not include a native ClickHouse driver. There is a major issue with ClickHouse and Metabase related to handling question marks in queries:

• Question marks '?' break queries with filters #309
• Question marks '?' break queries with filters on Clickhouse metabase/metabase#56364
• Metabase seems to mix filters in SQL queries when they contain '?' metabase/metabase#56690

The root cause of this bug has been fixed in the underlying clickhouse-java library in version v0.8.4:

• Fixes and improvements for multiple problems of jdbc_v2 and client_v2 clickhouse-java#2302

Would it be possible to make one final release of this driver with the clickhouse-java dependency updated to v0.8.4 before archiving the repository? This would ensure Metabase 53.x users have a working solution while they transition to newer versions with native support.

Thanks again!
